Comey is a Republican that was appointed as FBI director in 2013 by President Obama.

As anyone with even the faintest grasp of US politics could have predicted, Comey has used his position for partisan advantage at least twice now. The only apparent restraint on his behavior has been not wanting to look like an idiot for recommending prosecution of a hopelessly lost case.

Let this be a lesson to Democrats. Republicans are not to be trusted.
